Szinkronikus

Szinkronikus is a Hungarian adjective that translates to synchronous or synchronized in English. It describes events, actions, or processes that occur at the same time or in a coordinated manner. The term is derived from the Greek words "syn" meaning together and "chronos" meaning time.

In various contexts, "szinkronikus" can refer to different phenomena. In physics, szinkronikus rotation occurs when a celestial body's orbital period matches its rotational period, leading it to always show the same face to its primary. For example, the Moon is in szinkronikus rotation with Earth. In computing, szinkronikus operations are those that complete before the next operation can begin, whereas asynchronous operations can overlap. In music, szinkronikus playing means musicians perform together at the same tempo and rhythm. The concept is also applied in biology for mass breeding cycles in certain species and in engineering for synchronized movements of multiple components. The opposite of szinkronikus is aszinkronikus, meaning out of sync or not happening at the same time.
